Re: Counting Syllables

Hi Richmond, Yes, I came across syllablecounter.net which only intrigued me more. Unfortunately it reports the word triangle has 2 syllables which is incorrect. Any dictionary will tell you triangle has 3 syllables. Is there a rule for that or is it just an exception to some rule? Perhaps there
